It's not that far-fetched. Keep in mind that Rachelle Lefevre was replaced by Bryce Dallas Howard when she had a scheduling conflict, so I wouldn't be surprised if Greene and/or Lutz got axed. But will die-hard fans still go see the film with stand-ins, or will it hurt ticket sales? And furthermore, who should take over the roles?

I agree with many, I would still see it, but it would not be the same. I love the whole Cullen family, and think they are perfect as their characters and together, esp Ashley and Kellan! I know they may only have small roles in the films, but I have always loved their casting (probably the best out of the whole movie). And I may be in the minority but I love Pattinson and even Stewart (who I used to hate--I'm a new Twilight convert) in the roles. I am worried how she will play an older, more mature Bella--but I love how they both play the characters.
I am already not looking forward to a new Victoria in Eclipse, I know these are smaller roles but I like Rachelle and Bryce just doesn't look the same in the trailers :(

...Plus this (I heard) is just a negotiation tactic they'd be happy with just a million more. Nikki Reed and Jackson Rathbone were also a part of this but Reed backed down and we haven't heard about Rathbone yet. They aren't the only ones.

They work to promote the movie more than Pattinson and Stewart, they go to most of the conventions, mall events and even fly to Europe and do more interviews. They work just as hard.

Honestly, Ashley and Kellan can be replaced. It would be too bad if they were but they need to realize their characters don't carry the movie. Bella, Edward, and Jacob do. Remember Rachelle LeFevre (the orig Victoria)? Summit didn't seem to hesitate to replace her. They haven't held a lead role in any BIG movies so they may want to suck it up, do Breaking Dawn and be grateful to have been a part of such a successful franchise. This could also lead into a downward spiral for their career. Some fans may take this as them being greedy and not caring about what the fans want.

I like all of the Cullen Family the way they are, hopefully none of the cast memebers change. And I think Edward (Robert Pattison) is totally execellent for the part - looks exactly like I would imagine he would look like from the book description and he is such a talented young actor and wow can he sing and play music - such a talent - please don't change Edward.......

Well technically they are making 2 movies, so why not get paid for 2 movies? The studio is going to make a lot more money then if they were to keep it a single film, so if I was involved I would like a part of that. They should work it out so everyone gets a certain percentage of the second movie's sales on top of their current pay (even if it were to be less then 1% of sales for the supporting characters).

I mean Alice leaves in some of the Breaking Dawn anyway..and Emmet is just in a couple scences..where he arm wrestles Bella and goes wit Bella to comfront the Volturi..but idk i really could careless about them..they shouldnt get paid more, for doing less than what Rob Kris and Taylor have to do, they are just being selfish. But it would suck to see someone else to play their parts. so im a littl eh about the whole thing

i would see it but it wouldnt be the same!!!! :-( I HATE recasts in movies/sequels

I'm probably won't see it either way but the studio is going to make a crap load of profit from the movie anyways so just pay them the money. I would ask for more too especially if I was wanting to kind of get away from those movies. I don't know if that's true for them but the studio is just wanting to make as much money as possible so whatever.

i don't think the question should be "would you still see the movie?" --- people will still see it no matter what, if they are fans, but they may not like it and there may be backlash....but it's like me with SATC, no matter what they do, i'll still see it because i am curious and i love the franchise regardless...even if i don't love the decision and hate the way the movie plays out, i will still see it to decide for myself

The thing is I bet these two are getting paid like peanuts at the moment and want to get more. It makes sense to me. Yeah they might be being greedy, but they could also be making excuses to avoiding being in this craptacular film. There is no way this is going to be good and if you recast Emmet (who was one of the best parts of that book and Alice who also rocked.) like seriously. I'm hanging on to this franchise by a thread at this point. I think I will just move on to better things to do with my time.

I think that Ashley Greene is absolutely perfect for the role of Alice, and I'd be sad to see her go. Kellan Lutz is more replaceable as far as I'm concerned, although I do think it would be kind of lame to replace any members of the Cullen clan for the last movie(s). Having said that, I'd probably see the movies either way even though I don't think any of the movies so far have done justice to the books.

i'll still go see it. i think that it's kind of ridic if they are pushing to get that much mroe $$ since they aren't the top stars. yes AG has a big role but come on - be fair here. she's been catapulted into the spotlight from the movies and should be happy that she's noticed now because of the franchise. same thing with kellan. don't bite the hand that feeds you folks!

I hope they don't give them the money. How unbelievably greedy-- I'm sure since they're already part of such a huge franchise they're already overpaid. So they both pose nearly nude in a few magazines and they now think they're the stars? What divas.

I totally agree with Anonymous about the better edward and bella, not that they would ever recast them. It would be stupid to recast Kellan and Ashley, with the money these movies are raking in i'm sure they can afford to pay them both more money. It's awful when they change actors in the middle of a movies series. I would still see it but i would not be happy

Well, I won't see it either way. But, I that, for most fans, it won't matter. I feel like the vast majority of Twilight fans have read the books and that's why they see the films, so the casting (with the possible exceptions of Pattinson, Lautner, and Stewart) isn't all that important.
